The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has berated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the claim by its National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, that the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in 2021 asked him to borrow N1billion to run the party affairs.
The APC council spokesman, Festus Keyamo, said the PDP which had not yet got into power was already contemplating borrowing money to run its affairs, which depicted the hypocrisy of the party.
Ayu had on Friday denied recurring claims by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State that he (Ayu) collected N1billion from a presidential aspirant.
“When we came in, and the party had funding difficulties, the current presidential candidate suggested that the party should take a loan of N1billion from a bank.
“And the owner of that bank was also an influential member of this party. He has left the party now. But when we discussed with him, we discarded the idea”, he said.
Reacting, Keyamo, in a tweet on his official Twitter handle mocked the opposition party.
He wrote, “Nigerians should see the same party that complains about the fact that we borrow in some cases to fund infrastructure.
“They have not even won an election, they are suggesting taking loans to run their party! The problem with the PDP is their hypocrisy that stinks to high heavens.”
